Extinguishing The Fire; Removing Ash - Dovre VISTA Serie Instrucciones De Instalacion Y Uso

The secondary air inlet regulates the air for the glass
(air wash) (2).
The secondary air inlet has vents (3) above the grate
that allow for afterburning.
The appliance has one air control system that reg-
ulates both the primary air and the secondary air inlet.
If the air control is fully to the left, the primary and the
secondary air inlet is open. As the air slide is pushed
more to the right, this closes off the primary air inlet
and then the secondary air inlet. If the air slide is com-
pletely closed, a small air vent remains open to allow
for the afterburning; see following figure.

Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar and
creosote are highly combustible substances.
Thicker layers of these substances may catch
Subject to change because of technical improvements
Control the air supply using the air vent.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.

Extinguishing the fire

Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful sub-
stances will be released. For this reason, the fire

should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on
the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.

Removing ash

After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulating layer
for the stove base plate and improves combustion. It
is a good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
The flow of air through the stove base plate must not
be obstructed. Remove the excess ash regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Scoop the excess ash from the appliance or use a
special ash vacuum cleaner to remove the excess
ash.
3. Close the door of the appliance.
fire if the temperature in the flue increases sud-
denly. By allowing the fire to burn very
intensely regularly, layers of tar and creosote
will disappear.
Low intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is bet-
ter to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long
period of time.
The air inlet not only supplies air to the fire but
to the glass as well, so that it does not quickly
become dirty.
Always use an ash vacuum cleaner; using an
ordinary vacuum cleaner that has not been spe-
cially modified can cause serious damage to
an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
